Now here is a little about of wood:
Quarter Sawn: Gustav Stickley and other quality woodworkers of the past have relied on quartersawn oak for strength, durability, and beauty. Furniture made from quartersawn oak has lasted for centuries. Quartersawn Oak , a material little used today, is one of the hallmarks of the Arts & Crafts. Quartersawn is cut for figure. It is expensive to produce because the log is cut using the heart as the edge rather than the center, as in flatsawn oak.
At the sawmill, the log is first split into four quarters ('quartersawn'), then cut on the diagonal from the center of the tree out toward the edges. Look closely at the end of a sawn oak board or branch and you can easily pick out the rays. They look like fine, straight lines spreading out from the center of the tree, perpendicular to the grain of the wood.
